The Devils Lake INTER. OCEAN has en-
tered upon It's fifth volume, and it's APP
pearance would indicate that it is des.
tined to celebrate many more birthdays.
Brother Hansbrough is the best news.
paper man in North Dakota, and is CIV
ing to Devils Lake a paper Of which any
city twice as large might be proud.
WHAT WILL SPARKS DOT
Grafton News and Times.
We gather from the INTER OCEAN that
Rasmussen, who succeeds Editor Hans
brough rs postmaster at Devils Lake, is
a printer who has been foreman Of Der
Northwestern, st. Paul, up to the date Of
his appointment. He has a claim in the
southern part Of the county which he
visits occasionally. What will Sparks do
with HIM when he attempts to prove upi
A SIMILAR CASE.
Grafton News and Times.
The case Of Ramsey county against
the late treasurer, j. w. Maher, exactly
similar to that between Walsh county
and Treasurer Sandsger, was decided at
Devils Lake the other day in favor Of
the county.
LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT"
Lazimors Pioneer.
President Cleveland has given an.
other evidence Of what is meant by
"local selfgovernment," territorial
residents for territorial Offices" ETC., by
the appointment of H. G. Rasmussen, q
printer Of St. Paul, postmaster Of Devile
Lake, vice H. G. Hansbrough, removed
There were plenty of competent and
worthy local applicants, but they were
set aside for the St. Paul man endorsed
by the Democratic moguls of Minnesota
The only cxtenuating circumstance il
that MI. Rasmussen has a claim in tke
southern part Of Ramsey county, where
his family have lived a part of the time
NOT DEAD.
Dunseith Herald.
H. c. Hansbrough, the Republican
postmaster at Devils Lake, has been dis
charged to make way for H. G. Rasmus
sen, q Democrat and st. Paul Norwegian
newspaper man. Mr.. Rasmussen il
highly recommended and general salts
faction Is expressed at the appointment
Mr.. Hansbrough has, served his term a
postmaster with marvellous success, and
thanks be to goodness, the Republican,
are not dead. but have a voice in 1883
DOESN'T SAY HOW HE LIKES IT.
Bottinsau Pioneer, DENY
The H. C.'s are bound to get there il
seems, as HI. C. Rasmussen takes the
place Of H. c. Hansbrough, P. N. D. L.
and the long agony is over.
FROM WAYBACK.
Bottinsau Free Lancs.
H. c. Hansbrough has been removed
from the Devils Lake postofice on &C
count Of offensive pa%rtizanship and old
age. A Mr.. Rasmussen has been ap'
pointed in his stead. MI. Rasmussen't
ancestors came over in the Mayfowel
and he is an American from awayback,
and 80 will his descendants be when
they can swear "by yiminy crismas'
according to Hoyle. N. B.-I forgot to
say that Rasmussen is a Democrat.
BLASTING THEIR HOPES.
Inkster Review.
H. G. Rasmussen has been appointed
postmaster at Devils Lake, vice II. G
Hansbrough, removed. The president
is evidently determined to blast any
hopes which Dakota Democrats may
have entertained of making this a Dem
ocratic commonwealth.
AFTER MANY MONTHS.
Bathgats Sentinel.
After 10 ! these many months of try
ing in vain, Mr.. H. G. Hansbrough ha.
been removed from the postofice al
Devils Lake and we presume one Of the
pure Democrats has been given the
same. II Mr.. II. has any one fault 1t il
his fiaying his enemies and exposing
what he thinks is wrong. This Of course
brought on him the wrath Of some and
they used every conceivable means te
secure his removal, but for two years II
vain.
REGRETS FROM MINOT.
Mouse River Advocate.
The people Of Minot regret to heal
that H. G. H~ansbrough is to retire from
